About The Real Housewives of Pickleball

Pickleball is more than a game -- it's a movement. The Real Housewives of Pickleball is a lively, unfiltered podcast where pickleball meets reinvention, community, and real life.  Through honest conversations with players, pros, and everyday people, we explore second acts, resilience, and the joy behind the fastest-growing sport.  Because it's never too late to start something new.  Two mid-life pickleball addicts share our experience in pickle and life.
